Bal na ostrova

The character, portrayed by Oleg Kovachev, addresses Nikola Deyanov as 'Old bro Sergo', an obvious reference to Deyanov's Nome de guerre during the Anti-fascist struggle, Sergei. The Nome de guerre, usually pronounced in Bulgarian as 'Bate Sergei', became one of the two official nicknames of Stefan Danailov. In 2009, just before the Parliamentary election, the Bulgarian Socialist Party published an Election Campaign black-and-white clip, which referred to this episode of the series and included a game of names. In the clip, Stefan Danailov jumps on a moving tram, driven by the then leader of the Party, Sergei Stanishev. After brief discussion, the two men hear someone, who says: 'Sergei!' and both of them turn around simultaneously. The person happens to be a supporter of the Party, who ensures the 'Sergeis' that the Socialist idea is still alive.
